Say, what happened to Andrew Cuomo and his litany of sexual harassment/misconduct accusers? Did we have to ignore that because he's a brave DNC hero and we can't lose more of them?

AreWeDrunkYet posted:

No consequences came of it, which is the more common outcome than the alternative.

Neither is quite true - here's the current state of things.

Cuomo basically doesn't have NY State political power anymore, and Big Democrat Names are basically done with him, but his polling remained high enough that there's no appetite to impeach him. The general state is lukewarm on him through all of his creepy/skeezy poo poo that he should absolutely resign for. State Democrats are sorta secretly hoping the FBI nails him on the nursing home poo poo that he buried, or the state AG gets him on the sexual harassment stuff. State Democrats tiptoed into the impeachment lane for a few minutes, but the state still likes him, so they pulled back.

So it's still early, though trending towards no consequences. It's definitely not over because every few weeks they find out more skeezy poo poo.

I'll wait on trying In-n-Out. It's been a while since they opened here, but they made the news because like, 80% of their staff at all locations had covid.

On second thought, I'll just stick to what I know and like already. If they're fine with making their employees handle food while sick with a pandemic virus, they're probably fine with them not keeping up with hygiene on the job.

In-n-out is branded in red blooded Americans, run by people who hide bible verses on wrappers, and staffed largely by suburban kids (in my experiences) so I'm sure there's at least a correlation there. .

Elbit Systems of America announced that they had received an initial contract worth approximately $22.5 million for low-rate initial production (LRIP) of their ENVG-B systems, with a period of performance through December 2021. L3Harris similarly announced that it had received an initial award, but did not disclose the contract value or performance period. The ENVG-B program of record is worth around $442 million in total, although a performance period for the total contract has yet to be defined.

The setup apparently also does land warrior stuff.

At the time, there was a widespread belief in Washington, D.C., that Maduro’s administration was on the verge of toppling and the Venezuelan “armed forces would flip and go right over to Guaidó,” says Michael Shifter, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Trump reportedly asked his advisers why the U.S. couldn’t just invade the country. In his tell-all memoir, former National Security Adviser John Bolton — a Venezuela hawk who supported increasing sanctions on the country —
claims that Trump told advisers that it would be “cool” to invade.

It's really amazing how sick your immune system will make you feel when there's technically nothing really wrong, per se. I got lucky with having no nausea but I shat out all my internal organs (possibly due to running) so there wasn't much to be nauseous about. Gobble that tylenol!
